The program develops on three keynote contributions. The first explores the role of optical fiber sensing in infrastructure monitoring and physical layer security, highlighting how distributed sensing technologies can enhance safety, resilience, and threat detection in critical systems. The second focuses on biomedical applications in ionizing radiation environments, presenting recent developments in fiber optic sensors for dosimetry, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine, where precision and real-time monitoring are essential. The third keynote addresses the rapidly evolving field of theranostic devices and sensing in in vivo scenarios, showcasing how fiber optic technologies are enabling minimally invasive diagnostics and integrated therapy solutions, while maintaining high standards of safety and biocompatibility. After a roundtable offering space for open discussion with speakers, moderators and attendees, time will be dedicated to flash talks of young researchers and to a meet-the-expert session.
